Reflexology is a gentle art of science and an effective form of therapeutic foot/hand massage.

Reflexology is a therapy that works on the feet or hands to induce a state of balance and harmony in the body, mind and spirit.

The body’s organs are mapped out on the feet and hands in an orderly manner as they appear in the body. This is a way of massaging the internal organs through the feet. This method allows the release of toxins from these organs via the feet or hands. It is more popular to do this therapy through the feet than hands because of the wear and tear we do to our feet everyday. This allows us to create relaxed muscles of the feet, increase circulation, and just feels real good.

In reflexology, the reflex zones are stimulated and an involuntary response is elicited in the corresponding organs and glands. There is an abundance of nerve endings in the feet, which aids this therapy in directly linking to the energy pathways and nerve pathways of the body and organs. Thus, with the art of touch, electro-chemical nerve impulses are stimulated to create the therapeutic effect.
